Second one doesn't even take place in Japan.

 

[Falksi]

Gutted. Was expecting to be able to play something involving soiled schoolgirls underwear & rape.

Finally. I've wanted to play these games for a long time, especially after so much hype around them.

Pioneering Dreamcast classics available for the first time on PC
Updated user interface
Choice of modern or classic controls
Japanese audio available for the first time for a global audience
Fully scalable screen resolutions

No visual upgrades other than resolution. I'm sure people will release texture mods. Other than that, visuals remind me of DeusEx (poly count on characters).

Hopefully 1 retains that horrible dub that makes it sound like a 80's kung fu movie. Can't wait to get back on the forklift.

Did you ever try the dreamcast emulator? You can even increase the native resolution.

It pioneered many aspects of modern gaming, ..., and was the game that coined the Quick Time Event (QTE)

Thank you Shenmue.

Nah. I do play games on emulator's for PS, NeoGeo and NES, but honestly, it's a pain in the arse to configure/tweak them.

That and there aren't really many Dreamcast games I care about, so I waited patiently forever for these games on PC. So yay?

Also, proper M+K support is a bonus. Fucking hate gamepad for 3rd person/FPS games on emulators (and their PC controls suck).

Waited for almost twenty years, but will finally get to play shenmue 2!

Though strangely, the idea of seeking it out on emulators never occured to me. I guess deep down i knew this day would come.
